Fried Brains
"The trio Rapid Zen creates a dynamic blend of really unique music by fusing rhythmic patterns with audio experiments. They achieve this by combining a layer of turntable sampling and scratching that provides a distinctive and varied sound interacting with a broad palette of different techniques on double bass, percussion, and voice. Fried Brains is the first release of the project." - Vito Camarretta

According to legend, Orpheus was the son of Apollo, the Greek god of music. His father gave him a lyre and, from an early age, Orpheus played so well that he surpassed even his father's skill. It is said that when he played, the objects around him came to life, so enchanting was his music. Orfeu is the Portuguese translation of ‘Orpheus’, and is above all the intimate project of Alexandre Casato, who has been developing it in secret in his bedroom for several years... Alex is the guitarist behin…

If We Can't Dream, They Won't Sleep!!
*2025 stock* Strange connections -- Bilbao meets Japan via Berlin on a record that will put you in a constant state of WTF. ASMR rock? Post internet punk?

Al Karpenter is an elusive figure. On this record, he comes off like "Che" Guevara front…
The Forthcoming
*2025 stock* On their third album, Al Karpenter merges its singular vision with a host of collaborators. After finally becoming a band in 2022 with Marta Sainz and Enrique Zaccagnini from Santander joining Al Karpenter and Mattin, and in synchronicity with a recent CIA Debutante team-up, this group rises to the challenge of expanding its parameters. As Al Karpenter’s resident theoretician Mattin explains, “The last record was a result of the pandemic, introverted, isolated and with a blues energ…
Al Karpenter & CIA Debutante
*2025 stock* A collaboration between the Spanish Cabalists, Al Karpenter & French Rosicruanists, CIA Debutante, was not specifically foretold in the Fama Fraternitatis, but read between the lines, friend. That is where the truth lurks. The bilious Marxist splatter of the former, coursing alongside the dystopian surrealism of the latter, is a nefarious seance gambit born in the ether. Many voices are heard-fractious, cryptic, suffused, fading one into the other, the results often as hazy as the m…

Zerkelus
*125 copies limited edition* Richard Youngs is neither a stranger to Fourth Dimension Records or creating music from a disparate array of sources that then fall somewhere near that space where immersive drones converge with something altogether more frayed, ravaged or disquiet. 'Zerkelus', named after an imaginary Babylonian king, comprises two lengthy side-long parts, with the first being akin to something of an extended orchestral tune-up utilising voice, oboe and indiscernible sources to crea…
2022-2023
*200 copies limited edition* K / S / R (the trio of Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith, and Justin Rhody) play a unique form of delicate free-improvisation that blends deep listening, scree, and post-jazz sensibilities. As if Adris Hoyos & Tony Conrad created lounge music for Coast to Coast AM. Since 2022, the trio have also regularly performed works for expanded cinema in select locales across the US - with a prime example from an Oakland CA performance documented on this double disc set of essential …

A fittingly intense culmination of time spent, efforts made, emotional response, and intuitive composition. This is a music that's hated by the punks and the conservatory alike - executed in warehouses, microcinemas, and former cookie factories across the United State…
